desired.

□ For wall mounting, tilt the sensor (C) down to an

almost 90º angle, and turned side-to-side to cover

a general area.

□ For eave mounting, turn the sensor (C) outward or

side-to-side.

ADJUSTING THE SOLAR PANEL

IMPORTANT: The solar panel (E) must receive

as much direct sunlight over the course of the

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Cause Solution

The light will not turn

ON at night.

The Power button is OFF. Make sure the Power button is in the ON position.

The batteries may be depleted. Check the connections between light and solar panel. Ensure the panel receives ample sunlight.

The extension cord between the solar panel and

light xture is longer than 60 ft.

Connect to a shorter extension cord, or reposition the solar panel closer to the light xture.

The solar panel is not positioned correctly. The solar panel should face the southern sky, and have clear exposure to the sun.

The motion sensor is not detecting motion. Increase SENS, and turn LUX towards the moon icon.

Light from other sources (light poles, headlights)

acts similar to daylight to the light sensor.

Turn the LUX setting towards the sun icon to compensate for the additional light, or move the

light to another area.

The air temperature is too hot or too cold. The light will operate normally when temperatures return within operational range.

IMPORTANT: This guide is a quick reference only for common features of the product and

troubleshooting tips. Please read and reference the full instruction manual for installation, safety,

and additional information.

This light operates with three (3) AA Ni-MH batteries charged from the solar panel.

The batteries are included and installed in the light. If the voltage of the nickel-metal hydride

batteries run down to 3V, the light will not activate when the motion sensor is triggered. When

the solar panel has recharged the Ni-MH batteries, and voltage is above 3V, the light will return to

normal operation.
